Due to scheduling hurdles, the usual comic book film roundtable called in by the Kicking the Seat Podcast hosted by Ian Simmons had to merge their voices over the fun for an extended and perky podcast to cover Marvel's record-shattering blockbuster phenomenon, Black Panther! Ian was joined by myself, David Fowlie of Keeping it Reel, and Emmanuel Noisette of Eman's Movie Reviews. We talked about the film's cultural significance, its place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and how co-writer/director Ryan Coogler and actor Michael B. Jordan team up to solve the MCU's long-standing villain problem! Take a listen right here:

After the main course, Ian goes on to discuss a very special birthday wish, the trailer for Jason Coffman's upcoming horror comedy Housesitters, and his experiences from hosting and moderating a Gene Siskel Film Center screening of Michael Glover Smith's Mercury in Retrograde (a film I reviewed as was a fan of). Enjoy!
